Geum-ja is a ‘waste geek’ who always thinks of ways to reduce trash and goes wherever needed if there is a waste problem. And I am a Geum-ja geek who follows her. The most troublesome kind of waste is non-biodegradable, plastic waste. Plastic usage is not only a problem for our neighborhood  in Mangwon-dong but also for all mankind. We all know plastic is the main culprit of environmental pollution. We also know that global warming is causing glaciers to melt. Nevertheless, the environmental movement is so slow. We are already too used to the convenience of plastics. I have seen other waste geeks claiming that only the essence (Al-meng-yi in Korean) needs to stay and the package has to go away. They are trying to make Mangwon Market a plastic-free market. What motivated and empowered them to act? Through this film, I would like to say these movements by scattered individuals will eventually create a bigger change to the huge plastic usage problem.
